Summary

Gemini is a Halo 2 multiplayer level, based on the level Duality from Marathon,[1] set on High Charity. It is one of the smaller Halo 2 maps. It is considered as being the Prophet's retreat. It is somewhat of an unusual level, as it consists of an open outside area and closed-quarter inside area. Teleporters can warp players up to two small balconies on the top of the inner area. Another teleporter warps players to the outside and back. There is a wide array of weapons from close ranged Brute Shots and the Energy Sword, to Carbines and a Beam Rifle. Also, an Overshield can be found in front of the giant prophet statue. Another interesting feature is the addition of doors; the doors make you feel like you're in the levels Gravemind and High Charity. It is pretty rare to find classics doors in a multiplayer level like this.

The Prophet statue in about the middle of the map is probably an ancient prophet, a founder of the Covenant. It also has 5 Covenant Phantom docks and what appears to be a natural tree. In the background behind the Phantom docks you can see the Forerunner ship that the Prophet of Truth used on the Halo 2 level High Charity to get to Earth. The ship is also the last time you see the Master Chief in the game.

It is possible to get below the level and explore the city. You can see how, either here or here

Trivia

  • Gemini is the only Halo 2 multiplayer level to have Covenant automatic doors.
  • Gemini is the only Halo 2 multiplayer level set on High Charity.
  • Some believe the symbolism of the Prophet and the Halo ring represents the Prophets' role as providers of the Holy Rings to the Covenant.
  • Gemini can be spotted in campaign mode in Halo 2. On the level Gravemind, when you exit the High Council Chamber and you get near where the Arbiter was tortured, look to the left, and in between the two giant towers with the eye-shaped purple design, you will see a smaller tower with the exact shape as the Gemini map.
  • There are two spires that appear in the levels Gravemind and High Charity, but the player cannot knock them over.
